We are probably nearing the limit of all we can know about astronomy.
/ Simon Newcomb /



My astronomy sketches. IE users, hoover mouse over image for the inverted look. For fainter objects, take a look at the black-on-white original, sometimes it reveals more details.

NGC 2126 (Open cluster)
Also known as: Herschel H68-8

Constellation: Auriga
Date/time: 2010.02.21 19:30 UT
Equipment: 12" f/5 Newtonian

A small, triangle shaped open cluster sitting in a sparse stellar environment. A very bright star dominates the cluster at one of its corners, but I suspect that this star is not actually a part of this group. Apart this, the cluster shows about a dozen of brighter and another dozen of fainter members.

Awesome sketches! I love it! I was curious what size and what kind of eyepiece were you using with each sketch? I do see the magnification power with each sketch. Thanks - let me know, email address
